G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

I regret spending money on this and losing 2 hrs of sleep for this

[1/10 · 28 March 2013]

all the other reviews said it all. so ill keep it short and sweet. Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS.

the execs held this film back because the original competition would have blown the Joe's outta the water and they want to profit as much as possible.

i felt ripped off. i will put as many bad reviews as possible everywhere i can since this was such a low budget low quality film that will possibly kill the franchise. the execs only cared about making money off of a name. because clearly the writers never saw the first film and damn sure never saw the cartoon or had any experience writing films

Inception (2010)

How does Christopher Nolan do it???

[10/10 · 16 July 2010]

I went into this movie with low expectations and once this film started, it took my expectations, strapped it to a rocket and took off. This film was by far one of the most creative, mind-blowing, drama driving, thrillers that I've seen in at least 5 years. The acting was very solid on all parts when it came to fear, solving problems, chemistry, and action. The score was magnificent, dark, deep, suspenseful, and very escalating. You find yourself at points of the film on the edge of your seat hoping that all the characters make it through okay, especially with their own unique talents and the actors made these characters seem so real that you'll have to pinch yourself and make sure that you are not the one that is in the dream world. I will see this movie at least 2 more times and I will not be surprised if it wins one or two Oscars at least.

Terminator Salvation (2009)

Completely surpassed terminator 3 but falls short of the other 2 of terminator classics

[8/10 · 1 July 2009]

Let me make one thing perfectly clear as I possibly can, this is not an arnold terminator movie, this is not a time traveling robot that everyone has grown love over the past 25 years but this is the future war that everyone has been expecting to see. So everyone in their I love arnold mindset better throw it away, get real you already know he is too old to be doing those terminator parts, so get that little bug out of your heads. The thing with movies is you are not always going to get what you want(if that was the case we'd all be directing and making our own movies)so sometimes you as a fan are going to have to give into the movie instead of the movie always giving in to you. Christian bale as john connor was better than all the other people in the past who played john connor, he played a great leader, he brought us a grittier john connor, he lived up to the john connor we expecting to see judging by all of the flashbacks in the first 3 movies and I truly enjoyed his character. The special effects were off the chart(yes even the CGI arnold was cool)this movie introduced you to old and new terminators or other machines that are trying to kill us in the near future lol. Sam Worthington was fantastic and he picked up where arnold left off as a protector in this movie and did a great job at it. Yes he did lack size compared to arnold's character of the past but his acting was so much better than arnold that it made up for it. The movie did a good job telling and showing the 2 story method just like the 3 before it by showing john's story and then marcus' story, and then you just them come together. That scene when marcus and john first meet was intense and kept you on the edge of your seat because us as the audience knew that marcus wasn't a villain and we were looking at john as if he were crazy but from john's point of view he was paraniod, he had the whole stone cold steve austin "don't trust anybody" mindset. My only complaint was they didn't show enough kyle reese, they could have did more with him you know just give him a couple of more scenes because soemtimes you forget that he's even in the movie. But overall I give that movie a 8 out of 10, my suggestion is for the critics or people who watch this movie is to let go of the first 3 and to get in gear with this new one(out with the old and in with the new).

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

I don't have the slightest clue what movie theater you people were at or maybe in fact that you did not see the movie itself but it was awesome

[9/10 · 1 July 2009]

That movie was one of the best sequels I've seen in years, it completely out did the first movie as far as comedy, action, attitude and style. There were so many parts of the first movie that I really didn't enjoy that the sequel made up for. For example, the fight scenes in the first movie sucked you couldn't see what was going on, it got very boring at some parts, they were too quick and just kind of bland. This one had a lot more raw and intense; this movie punched you in the mouth when the main character temporarily died and they picked you back up when you figured out there was hope to bring him back. I believe that most people said the first one was better because it was something new back then, no one has ever seen anything like it before, and with this one it was so much more hardcore and I know that true fans just loved it. This film reaches out more to the people who grew up watching transformers back in 80s more than the older crowd of people who grew up watching the much old hanna barbarra and the original johnny quest shows. I seen comments that haven't made any sense saying that the movie was too loud, there was too much action and explosions, and there was too much metal well duh!!! What do you expect it's a transformers movie. My suggestion for critics and the people who bash this movie is this: if you don't know anything about transformers go get familiar with it look at the cartoons or just read up on it, 2 if you didn't see the movie do not bother bashing it thats like saying the super bowl was horrible and you didn't even watch it nor you have a TV, radio, or computer in your house, 3 everything you say influences people some more than others there are people out there who probably really enjoy this movie but they won't see because you were having a bad day and decided to bash the movie as a way to vent. For anyone who wants proof, solid unbasis proof go watch the movie when there is a decent crowd of people in there laughing, cheering, applauding and having a good time then email me later about your opinion.
